InstallAware

<dramatic entrance>And so the final entry can be written...</dramatic entrance>

I've adapted the script to and added the "Control Service" commands grouped in the "first time/maintaince region" as was done in Peter's script. Tried a test run and it removes the services on uninstall and adds them on install. That about covers my scenario

I did forget all about "Setup Commands Preceding Apply Uninstall", so I read up on it again. I didn't find a direct link between "Control Service" and that particular topic.
Must I assume that "Control Service" is one of the elusive "New Windows Installer Commands"? Or did I overlook something?

It might be handy to have to complete list of "New Windows Installers commands" instead of a "reference to some commands".
You could consider this as improvement for the help.

Anyway, thanks again. I'll be on my merry way

The two best indicators on what must appear before Apply Install are:

• The commands appear in the pinkish color.
• The list of command on the right of the screen that you can drag-drop under the Windows Installer heading

If you forget what color means what, you can always view the Options under the MSIcode tab to remind yourself.

Since I think this might be the easiest way to prevent this confusion, I have logged the following feature request:

The help doc for each Windows Installer Command should include the text:

"This command must be placed before an Apply Install command in order to be executed.
